Leysin

We had the chance to stay in Leysin for a weekend. After a busy week it was great to just be able to 'flop' somewhere with no plans except eating, sleeping, reading and watching films! (And yes, that's luggage for two days!)

It was snow on snow - here you can see the kids playing in the background, and a tractor/snow-plough to the right.

I had a bit of a snowy adventure on the Saturday morning. I'd realised the evening before that I'd forgotten an important bit of diabetes kit at home. Without that, no breakfast for Rebecca. With Madame not arriving 'til midday, I had to work out a plan. But it was still snowing like crazy, so there was a risk of not even being able to drive back up afterwards!

I decided to head off very early in the morning before they woke up.I had to go in reverse even to get out of the car park. Made good time home (about 40 minutes in normal conditions), but then effectively got 'stuck' coming back! I ended up parking the car and hitching a lift (I wasn't the only one). And still managed to get back without anyone noticing!
